UKCruiseJeff Posted August 5, 2014 Author #2001 Share Posted August 5, 2014 The usual porridge,no lunch,cold salmon fillet and salad Yesterday saw the arrival of Frantic 36,Julie and Keith We met them at Heathrow with two vehicles and our driver,one for the luggage and the Phantom to take them to The Corinthia Hotel. We then did some Jermyn Street shopping followed by a lovely lunch at The Goring Hotel and enjoyed sitting outside in the garden square. You're sounding exactly like the bleedin' private hire company I use in Devon, although they use new Mercs rather than the antiques you like to run ....:D Asked him how he was going to handle 6 of us out for a boozy curry and he said rather superiously " Don't worry Jeff, I'll drive one and my driver will drive the other!" Sounds a bit similar to me!:eek: I hope you're not charging your visitors full rates! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Luxury Posted August 5, 2014 #2002 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Crikey Lux, I had forgotten you were meeting Julie, I'm sure you are entertaining them well, if l recall you had many eateries set up which will be lovely. Any chance of 'lending' me your driver in October for my transfer from the city to Sofitel at Heathrow..;) Have fun S:) I might have sacked him by then:D Actually Julie liked him,he's ex Royalty Protection. I might export him to Aus. Edited August 5, 2014 by Mr Luxury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seven here at home They're only bits of metal but Mrs Lux is a very capable driver and knows what she likes. I have phases of interest in them,some days I can't get enthused. We like comfort and all the extras but we also have sporty ones with uncomfortable suspension. I like wine and cuisine more and hand made suits,shirts and shoes.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

specialcruisegirl Posted August 5, 2014 #2010 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Yes,I know quite a few and employ some of them. I've got two that house sit. Really? I'm surprised at that....although having said that l guess it's good job for them in semi retirement. Trevor was my favourite as we were born in the same town.

Sophia:) Most ex job guys look for something to supplement their pension and some take full time security jobs in fact the head security at Claridges is ex Royalty Some go to corporate positions and some move to the country and take up fishing.

bissel Posted August 6, 2014 #2025 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Good morning to the Cooler Gang! Thanks for all your help with English possessives. I'm going to start using them and see if anyone notices. I'm eager to see what's for lunch today. Or dinner, I guess. I think I'm about 10 hours earlier than most of you.
